Arriving at the top of the hill Adijaya surprised by two grandmothers who stood in front of a small wooden house. One was Nini Bedul himself and the other one was what surprised him.
"Gandalaras Shrine?"
"If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have told you to go up!" exclaim Nini Bedul as usual like an angry person.
Nyai Gandalaras stood while staring intently alternately at Adijaya and Puspasari. Immediately Adijaya release the handle.
"Good, yeah! Men are crocodiles. Your lover is dying, now he has a new arm!"
Adijaya breathed a calm sigh. "Grandmother don't misunderstand me, I just got to know her," pointed her towards Puspasari.
This girl met her red face. There was also a feeling of slashing in his heart when he heard the grandmother's words.
"Not many reasons!" nyai Gandalaras.
But Adijaya did not listen to the babble of the grandmother. He looked around looking for something. Then take a walk around the house.
Get to the backyard. What he was looking for found. He ran straight there. Asmarini's body was immersed in water filled with various kinds of flowers in a small pond. Only her white face appeared on the surface.
"She!" hiss Adijaya looked at Asmarini who seemed unconscious.
Three women have stood behind Adijaya. Two creepy-faced grandmothers and one girl who was holding back her feelings.
Remember when Asmarini became a bride whose gaze was empty, Adijaya concluded that the girl was affected by the influence of gendam. Then Nyai Gandalaras took him to the place of Nini Bedul who is an expert in gendam science.
It is likely that Asmarini is being healed in this way.
Adijaya turned around, watching the two grandmothers one by one. Then smile funny.
"You look alike, are you two twins?"
"If so, why?" nini Bedul.
"Simply, equally fierce!" Adijaya laughed, but the two grandmothers still put on a cynical face.
Back Adijaya turned around and squatted near the pool that submerged Asmarini. His hands stretched out rubbing the girl's cheeks.
"Hurry up, Dinda!"
"The impact is very strong, I did not manage to find who the person who had harbored it," explained Nini Bedul.
"Thank you Nini Bedul, you have been willing to help Asmarini to escape the influence of revenge,"
"Of course!" bentak Nini Bedul made Adijaya shocked. "He's my twin brother's student, so I have to help him!"
"It turns out they're really twins!" batin Adijaya's.
"Well, what do you want with this girl?" tanya Nyai Gandalaras pointed at Puspasari.
Adijaya looked at Puspasari who had not let out his voice.
"As a good-natured and virtuous swordsman, I want to help with the problems that have befallen him" said Adijaya looking at the grandmother with a small smile and twitching her eyebrows.
"I don't need your help!" sahut Puspasari then walked away.
"Eh, uh!"
Adijaya became awkward, wanting to chase after the girl but the grandmother looked at her sharply.
"Trust me, Grandma!" he said slowly and then rushed after Puspasari.
***
With a little persuasion finally Puspasari can be spoken to. Just met for a moment, this girl's jealous time? Thought Adijaya. While his intention to help Puspasari was really sincere.
"You should have waited for your lover to recover" said Puspasari. His tone clearly contained jealousy.
"Who's the other grandmother?"
"His name is Nyai Gandalaras, his nickname is Swordsman of the Flower Sword, he is his teacher Asmarini,"
Adijaya imagined the twin grandmother. His face was similar to his form of pleasure. It's just Nini Bedul her body bent. Adijaya also believes, Nini Bedul is not his real name.
Why is she called Nini Bedul? One day he will question her directly.
"You've been with Asmarini a long time?"
Without feeling care what Puspasari felt towards him, Adijaya told vividly about his relationship with Asmarini from the beginning of the meeting to the sad event that happened to him some time ago.
Until here Puspasari gasped, turns out the young man beside him is a swordsman who has made his name in the martial world.
"I never expected, I could meet the swordsman the Emperor defended,"
Adijaya was wrong. Then this pair of young men both fell silent. They had been sitting again on a boulder when Puspasari was treated earlier.
"How are you doing?" ask Adijaya.
"I'm fine, thanks for healing my wounds,"
"No need to hesitate, I will still help you, recover your good name!"
They look at each other. Secretly Puspasari's heart felt small after hearing about Asmarini who turned out to be the daughter of a patih. How lucky the girl who will be the companion of this Flying Umbrella.
It is undeniable, although it has not been known for a day, but the sense of liking it does exist. Naturally, Adijaya looks quite handsome. Any woman who sees it will surely love it at first sight.
How will it go later? Puspasari did not think too much. What matters now is that he can be with the young man. Moreover, Adijaya willingly helped his affairs.
If he had insisted on refusing the young man's help, he would have lost. At least his life would be protected if he was close to him.
***
A gripping night. The atmosphere of the village seemed lonely. The cold wind blew out a terrifying sound. No residents came out that night.
In the village was the news of birds about Puspasari who wanted revenge using witchcraft from his teacher - Nini Bedul-. The real news of this lie is able to make residents afraid to choose not to leave the house at night.
No one dared to approach the former house where Puspasari lived. The people wanted to destroy and burn the house down. But they fear a terrible retribution.
It's the second night after the news broke. The news is deliberately made so that 'he', the newsmaker can move freely to carry out his intentions.
On the first night he managed to dismantle the grave and steal Rana's body. Then the grave was filled again as before. And on the second night, Lesmana's body was stolen.
No one knew about the incident, because the residents were filled with great fear. Even Ki Dipasara or Nyi Rengganis who is a swordsman, must believe in the ferocity of Nini Bedul's stern science.
Both bodies were hidden in a room. In the house that is among the houses of other residents. With some special ingredients, the stench of a corpse can be removed.
"Leave one more requirement to be met," a flat female voice sounded. "Three dead virgins!"
"Do you have to, can't find another virgin?" asking a guy is like complaining.
"This is to smooth out the plan, so that the suspect remains one and a reasonable reason,"
"But now his house has been guarded by several mercenaries,"
"You're making sense to be able to take him out of reach of those warriors. Let me act next!"
The man sounded sighing. "All right, I'll find a way,"
"I want to master this science immediately, and then I will master this village!"
The woman snorted cynically, her eyes full of ambition and vengeance. A haughty grin decorating on her lips.
#Who are these two?
